Cocaine Werewolf

Great, another movie from Mark Polonia, whom isn't exactly known for his high quality movies. But the movie's title was funny enough to make me sit down and watch it, though I have to admit that my expectations were non-existing, as this was a movie directed by Mark Polonia.

The storyline was pretty straight forward, though you're not in for anything grand. So it wasn't as if writers Ford Austin and Tyger Torrez conjured up the next great thing in Hollywood here. Not that I was expecting them to.

The only face on the cast list that I was familiar with was Jeff Kirkendall and Jamie Morgan. Yeah, I have been watching too many Mark Polonia movies, I know.

With "Cocaine Werewolf" obviously being a werewolf movie, then you have a werewolf running around. And while this 2024 movie definitely was a step up from the usual crap that you get from Mark Polonia, it was by no means great effects. It was plainly just a Halloween latex mask, as there was no articulation to the werewolf's face.

The blood effects were laughably bad; it was painfully obvious that it was horribly rendered CGI effects. The CGI blood was so poorly made that even a blind man would go 'seriously?'

The intro sequence was actually quite good, and a step up from the usual stuff you get in a Mark Polonia movie.

While "Cocaine Werewolf" was by no means a great movie, it was actually better than the usual dung heaps you get from Mark Polonia movies.

My rating of "Cocaine Werewolf" lands on a three out of ten stars.

This movie made me laugh, scream, and cry. I'm now deep in parasocial relationships with half of the cast and crew. It's hard to believe a movie with such simple premise could change me forever.

Light entertainment is important in hard times that we currently live in, and it's easy to forget that. But then people like Mark Polonia come in and say "hey. Let's make a movie about a werewolf that's high on cocaine and kills people". And sometimes that's all you need. If art's goal is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable, I believe Cocaine Werewolf achieved that goal.

I love you Mark.

Let's start by saying the cocaine fad started with Cocaine Bear which I absolutely loved! It was funny and action packed with a great cast. There have been several iterations since that film all utilizing the Cocaine title line. What's bad about this movie...just about everything. No story, acting is terrible, there is almost no budget so you know the graphics are minute (and no I don't mean minute but thanks to English so many words spell alike and sound different). What's good and actually kept me entertained throughout the film? The music. The music actually kept me interested and because of that I finished the movie. It's not the worst that I've seen, but it's not terrible if you can get past the initial spotting of the werewolf. I always tell people to give movies a try because not everything is for everyone but you will never know unless you give it a try.

Mark Polonia cranked out a good fun movie. Getting better with every movie I doubt he had the 100,000 dollar budget listed here on IMDB which makes the movie more impressive. I saw this movie in Lycoming County not far from where the move was made, the theater was about half full what a shame for such a fun movie and getting to meet there stars. Jamie Morgan kills it in this movie, well I think all the main characters all did great. Filler scenes to make the movie longer? Yes there is but in no way does it dull down the movie because you know something fun and exciting is coming soon. Could there be a Cocaine Werewolf 2 I hope so and if you like to have a good time at the theater you will too.

Cocaine Werewolf is an Indie Horror film from Mark Polonia. When his Uber driver has to make a pit stop, Jack (Brive Kennedy) gets bitten by a werewolf. Jack also finds multiple bags of cocaine. Jackpot! Lol! So as Jack escapes the werewolf, he takes his newly found nose candy with him.

Having been bitten by a werewolf, Jack is now a werewolf himself. The cocaine seems to accelerate the transformation into a werewolf for Jack. Jack wakes up in the woods near the location that an independent horror film is being shot. The film's two female actresses bring Jack back to the house their filming at. The crew agrees to get him home in a day or two when they are finished filming. Jack's little secret comes out on the film set, sparked by doing coke with the film's director.

Cocaine Werewolf is a pretty fun film. It's a low budget indie film, so the costumes and special effects are on par with the budget.
